Description
GE HE700GEN200 is a VME form-factor communication module designed to connect VME-based controllers to the GE Genius industrial fieldbus network. It acts as a Genius bus master, supporting two separate Genius bus segments to expand distributed I/O capacity. The module enables cyclic process data transmission and fault diagnostics between the VME host system and remote Genius I/O blocks. It is widely deployed as replacement spare hardware for legacy power, oil & gas and process control systems.
Series
The uGENI series includes HE700GEN100 (single-channel) and HE700GEN200 (dual-channel) Genius VME interface modules, developed by Horner APG for GE Fanuc automation platforms. These modules integrate into standard VME racks to implement Genius bus networking without dedicated Genius Bus Controller (GBC) hardware.
Product Features
- Dual independent Genius communication channels for separate fieldbus segments, supporting network segmentation and improved communication reliability.
- Standard VME64x backplane interface for installation inside Series 90-70 VME racks.
- On-board DIP switches for address configuration, bus timing and operational mode setup.
- Front panel screw-type terminal connectors for Genius bus wiring, supporting daisy-chain field topology.
- LED status indicators for module power, bus activity and channel fault diagnosis.
- Low power consumption design, powered entirely from VME backplane 5 VDC supply.
- Rugged industrial PCB assembly suitable for cabinet-mounted control environments.
- End-of-life legacy hardware; not available for new project engineering.
